Hello, I'm building an ADU at my primary residence that will be used as a rental. I'm hoping to install a doorbell video camera as well as maybe 1 or 2 exterior cameras. Does anyone know of a particular brand where I ...

So I call the bank (REO property) and they agreed to secure and give me access to finalize appraisal, but this was not a requirement for them on the conditions of the sale.

It’s often sold as an alternative to larger security deposits or co-signers for people with bad credit bad rental history.

IE: get signed purchase agreement, contact title company, pay-off tax lien, secure title and then close with cashier check at the title company?

Using our whole-tailing approach, we secured the property under contract and pre-listed it to attract buyers.

The IRS also says “you can choose to treat any debt secured by your qualified home as not secured by the home.”So... this leads to interest tracing rules which are not complicated but it begs more questions-What's the land for?

Leveraging Jamie's local market knowledge, we secured the property for $218,000.

That should fix your cash flow issue while also giving you a bit more security, since you're not counting on a single lease anymore.

Would someone be able to fill me on in what is required with regard to bank accounts in the state of NC for holding a tenant's security deposit? 

Be sure and send them a final accounting including the security deposit to any forwarding or last known address.
